Strategy Overview
Vigoroth has a decent Attack stat alongside good bulk with Eviolite, allowing it to have two primary roles in NU—that of a stallbreaker and that of a bulky sweeper. Its good Speed lets it outspeed almost all walls and shut them down with a combination of Taunt and Toxic. Its unique ability, Vital Spirit, lets it check threatening Pokemon such as Exeggutor. However, Vigoroth can't do much to Ghost-types and faces a lot of competition from Mandibuzz, Misdreavus, and Golbat as a stallbreaker, and Substitute + Bulk Up Braviary as a bulky sweeper.
